Please don't turn this into a bashing of this man who, regardless of how you feel about his actions, did a monumental save of his pet. Can we all just say something positive to what must have been a terrifying moment? I don't know if I could have done that and am in awe. Frankly, I am surprised there was a seven footer since I have repeatedly been told they are taken away if they reach five feet. So this is a nice warning for us all. These gators are nothing to fool with...I saw a three footer next to my ball and was most happy to let him have it. We do need to be respectful of their space and I am sure this unlikely hero will not be making the same mistake twice and we can all be reminded of what can.. and does..happen.
